Every few years we fly a large metropolis in a nearby state. It is the downtown area with some of the major city attractions named, interstates are named, The river is named, and several of the central downtown streets are named. When they built the city they did not get the streets quite north and south east or west. The city is "rotated" a few degrees off of straight. They want a large print that is cut into three panels so it can be loaded into a car easily. The three prints are put side by side to make one large display. They want the streets to go straight up the print so I have to rotate the city a few degrees. Map software really does not like rotated imagery. I guess it is easier and cheaper than having them dig up the city to move everything square.
We have to fly it as close to solar noon as possible to keep the shadows of the downtown building as short as possible. Three years ago they were in the middle of a major drought. I had to Photoshop in water from the flight a few years before to make the river a river and not a dry river bed. This year the river is full.
